Pediatric Anesthesia and Emergency Drug Guide

Description

Pediatric Anesthesia and Emergency Drug Guide, Second Edition is a unique, quick reference for the care of a pediatric patient. Covering nearly every drug given in the perioperative care of a child, it provides calculations down to the milligram to give the best dose per gram/kilogram weight for both perioperative and emergency drugs. Completely updated and revised, it discusses and lists the dose range of each anesthetic drug, antibiotic, continuous IV drug infusions, local anesthetics, and epidural/caudal pediatric guidelines. The Second Edition includes two separate sections on Neonates and Pediatrics with detailed information on diseases, emergencies, and their anesthetic implications, including “pearls of information” for systemic differences between the two age groups affecting their care, such as volume status, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, and temperature considerations. * Updated dosages to meet current standards * New antibiotics include ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, ertapenem, levofloxacin, metronidazole, Unasyn, and Zosyn * New drugs include rectal doses of Tylenol and IV Tylenol (Ofirmev), hydromorphone, remifentanil, and sufentanil Review: Best tool for pediatrics - I use this everyday when doing anesthesia for peds! Great tool Review: Get it! RRNA Here--- - Currently in a graduate nurse anesthesia program (graduating in six months) -- I would say this pediatric guide is spot on with what we learned in didactic and what we practice in clinical; it matches up great with current guidelines and dosing and is very handy for quick referencing. I would definitely recommended this purchase to aid in your pediatric assessment and care, especially if you are new to pediatrics or do not provide their care on a regular basis.
